Teasite migration help

RaamKumar

Please confirm the following steps that i'm going to follow for migration activity and let me know if it got any issues if i proceed in this way.Also please advice on the problem i have mentioned below.

Migration Scenario:
***************
Solaris 8 Teamsite 6.1 server SP1 -> Solaris 10 Teamsite 6.7.1 server.
Opendeploy 6.0 -> Opendeploy 6.1.1

In Solaris 10 server install OD first.
1. Install Opendeploy 6.1.1 base server.(copy/merge odbase.xml,od-home/conf files,deploy.cfg)
2. Install Opendeploy Admin server.
3. create users mentioned in Teamsite 6.1 *.uid files and groups mentioned in etc/group file in solaris 10 server with the same uid's & gid's as in Solaris 8 server.
4. In Teamsite 6.1 server submit all the workarea's to staging and create a edition say migartion-checkpoint1.
5. copy the teamsite 6.1 server store-x (store to be migrated) to solaris 10 server. (store path.e:g /opt/iw-store)
7. Stop the webserver(Apache) in Solaris 10 server.
8. Install teamsite 6.7.1 in new server and during installation specify the iw-store path as /opt/iw-store (where store-x got saved previously).
9. stop the teamsite server.
10. copy/merge the config files.(iw.cfg,templating,*.uid files,available_templates,wft files,visual format config files,ipl files etc).
11. run the iwusermigate cmd in solaris 10 server.
12. Start the teamsite server.
13.Run the iwaccessmigrate cmd in solaris 10 server.
14. create a new store called store-y.
15. Use iwmigrate to copy editions starting from preferred edition in each branch upto the migartion-checkpoint1 from store-x to store-y.
16. deactivate the store-x
17. Backup & delete the store-x
18. Deactivate store-y and rename store-y to store-x
19. activate the store-x
20. Do a sanity test in teamsite 6.7.1 solaris 10 server to check everthing is working as expected.

Here the sanity testing will be done by technical people, so the business users will be still using old teamsite server(6.1) and there are possibilities for creating editions and other data.
so to make the new 6.7.1 server insync with the old server after successfull migartion what process we can follow.Also it is not possible to stop the teamsite 6.1 server during sanity testing.please advice.

i did go over your steps and they seem in order... they cover the big picture, they will be some steps that will be more details...
one of the suggestions would be: i am not sure why you are doing OD first? i dont think it is big deal but i personally prefer to installed TS first.
when you are migrating no need to deactivate / activate... just stop teamsite rename your iw-store to iw-store-old and new-iw-store to iw-store and start teamsite.

and to keep the new store in sync with the other teamsite server, i would use opendeploy to update the content everyday and create editions, till the cut-over date, then workareas can getlatest from latest edition.

Many thanks for your analysis and reply.As far as i heard, OpenDeploy's java version is lower than Teamsite 6.7.1 java version.so there are chances for overwriting the java runtime if OD got installed after teamsite and this may lead to problems.thats why i opt to install OD first. Also is it necessary to copy the entire iw-store directory itself or just the store in it (store-X) for migration.
Also in new Solaris server as i'm going to create the users and groups with UID's and Group id's similar to that in old Solaris server,is it necessary to run iwusermigrate tool.please confirm.

Not sure about the java version speed question.
I think you're best off if you create a new directory for the store "master directory" within which you can have your copy of the specific archive directory (e.g. "default") but also the top-level files that may be needed for some amount of context. However I'm not sure and I think it may depend upon what you are trying to accomplish. When mucking with store issues - I recommend contacting IWOV Support first to go over your plan with them.
With regard to the usermigrate piece - the issue has to do with the removal of the *.uid roles files - so yes - you still need to do the usermigrate step.

i think the java version shouldnt a porblem, because each has its own JRE \od-home\OpenDeployNG\jre\bin and \iw-home\tools\java\bin

Also is it necessary to copy the entire iw-store directory itself or just the store in it (store-X) for migration.

i would copy the entire iw-store and put it in the path of the new teamsite content store.

RaamKumar

Thanks for your updates.We have a lot of content stores like store-x,store-y all under /opt/iw-store .But plan to migrate only store-x under opt/iw-store.so if i copy the entire /opt/iw-store it would cost more time and space.thats why i thought of copying store-x alone. But whether it will create any impact during teamsite 6.7.1 installation for migration if i leave the other directories under /opt/iw-store like workflow,StoreRegistry.

I read on Pg19 of ts671 release notes that the upgrade path for ts61 is
ts61-sp2--->ts671 but I assume this would be the case when you're running the ts671 installer on the same box maybe after a SunOS-9 or10 upgrade scenario.

Unlike your case even applying ts61-sp2 on Sol8 source server will not affect the Backing Store so you can risk going from Ts61-SP1 backing store directly ts71 Smiley Happy

Hi All,
Instead of upgrade, we are doing fresh install of TS 6.7.1 on new m/c. we copied over the backing to do the conversion but when I activate the backing store I am getting I/O error. Here is a list of steps done so far.
Environment: Solaris 10

1. install TS 6.7.1 on new m/c
2. shutdown TS 6.1 on old m/c
3. Copy backing store to new m/c Did R only UFS mount the cp -Rp iw-store61
4. add store_directory_61Store = /iw-store61/default to iw.cfg
5. iwreset
6. iwstoreadm -a 61Store
Unable to activate store: I/O error
7. chown iwts /iw-store61
8. same error
9. chown iwts /iw-store61/default
10. same error
11. cd /iw-store61/default
12 chown iwts *
13. same error

iwtrace.log shows that it is opening bunch of files, but saying permission denined.
At this point I am tempted to do
chown -R iwts *

is that a good solution ? Is there a better way to do this ?

Migrateduser

I came across a migration document which suggests to do the same thing.
So i did
su - root
chown –R iwts
chmod –R +x
iwstoreadm -a storeName

And it worked. Will keep you posted if I come across any issues.

FWIW, regarding installing TS 6.7.1 and OD 6.x : Support KB 56722: Steps to Install TeamSite 6.7.1 and OpenDeploy 6.x

The following is taken from a Support case I created about that KB. I suggested the Support guy to include his answer to me also on KB 56722, but I see that wasn't done.

My case entry

We found KB 56722 that recommends to install OD 6.1 BEFORE TS 6.7.1.

Is the situation the same when installing OD 6.1.1?

In other words,

(1) *must* we install OD6.1.1 prior to TS 6.7.1?
(2) What if there are new patches to OD 6.1.1. Can they be safely installed after installing TS 6.7.1

Response by Interwoven Support

Regarding your query, yes it does apply to OD 6.1.1 as well.
...
Before answering your query I would like to brief you on this bug:
-----------------------------------
The bug 68629, stated in KB atricle 56722 will not affect the normal operations of the TeamSite or OpenDeploy. If TeamSite 6.7.1 is installed BEFORE OD Admin, what will happen is that you will receive an error in the event that you try to UNINSTALL TeamSite. The JRE that is overwritten is the JRE in the uninstall directory.

Here is a workaround for this:
1. Have TS on system
2. Save-off /jre
3. Install OD

When you want to uninstall TeamSite:
1. Save-off /jre
2. Restore the jre saved off in step 2 above.
3. Uninstall TS

If you follow the installation procedure given in the article 56722 you wouldn't face any problem during uninstallation of Teamsite.

----------------------------

If you are installing (in future) some OD patches after TS is installed, please perform the following steps:

1. Save-off /jre (patch may or may not overwrite the jre; perform this as precautionary step)
2. Install OD patches

Then if you want uninstall Teamsite:
1. Save-off /jre
2. Restore the jre saved off in step 1 above.
3. Uninstall TS.

This way we are making sure that uninstall directory has the proper jre version in it.
